It turns out the vxlan offloading does get enabled. One host did not show it getting enabled in the syslog. But when I went to try a test on the 2nd compute host which I had not checked, I could see expecting log message about offloading getting enabled:

But I am still a bit confused about the MTU size change. I now see that the MTU size for GRE was done specifically to address the possibility of fragmentation and AFAICT the document states that instance-mtu ought to be less than network-device-mtu. Also, I would expect a small difference between the GRE and VXLAN headers... so need to dig into this further.
